Bigoted, illiterate & unemployed? You’ve found your home in Burnley!

Living in Burnley

On entering, inhale the sweet, sweet aroma of week-old sweat and severe halitosis mingled with the lingering scent of weed. Take in the fine views around you, marvelling at the somehow still-inhabited ruins where, if you are brave enough, you may catch a glimpse of the inhabitants that some would even describe as ‘the missing […]

Blackpool: The shallow genepool Capital of Britain

Recently, I typed the term ‘Blackpool ****’ into Google and found an excellent article on this site. Whilst very true, I have become so disillusioned with Blackpool over the years that I thought I would add my thoughts. Yes, the title of my article may come across as a little harsh but really, this place […]

Mawdesley. Home to every boss you hated.

Living in Mawdesley, Lancashire

You won’t have heard of Mawdesley. No one has. Even people in surrounding villages refuse to acknowledge the existence of this lifeless non-place. It’s as though even thinking of the existence of such a deadened little place causes a little part of you to die. Even wildlife seems to give the area a wide berth. […]

The sad decline of The North

The sad decline of The North

It angers and saddens me a great deal to read the many obituries of once proud working and mining towns like Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Sunderland etc on this site. These were all places I was familiar with as a very young man back in the late 1970s and places I loved to visit and […]

A good number of men living in Burnley have had it with their sister

Living in Burnley, Lancashire

Worst GCSE results in Britain during 2012, one of the highest unemployment rates, ***** football team and high welfare activity. The town should be in Yorkshire; the people of Burnley speak and act like a Yorkshire folk, it borders Yorkshire and has no place in God’s county – Lancashire. Turf Moore A.K.A. **** Morgue looks […]

Blackpool: The less than salubrious Seaside

Living in Blackpool, Lancashire

Blackpool, although you may think it’s a jolly seaside resort with candy floss and donkeys, it is where transients come to draw benefits in a holiday resort instead of an inner city. Go back a few streets from the prom, and you will see the deprivation, the ghettos and the rundown pubs that make up […]

Blackburn

I’m greatly surprised my beloved hometown hasn’t yet been added to the role of shame on this here website.   I come and post from Blackburn in Lancashire. A town dying on its ****.  My particular beef is with the nightlife. It may seem surprising to outsiders but as relatively recently as 2004 Blackburn was […]
